Sugar Skulls Earrings, Day of the Dead Halloween Enamel Coral Jewelry

The "Calaveras de Colores" handmade earrings feature artisan enamel sugar skull charms on copper, red coral rondelles and sterling silver earwires - perfect Day of the Dead and Halloween jewelry for women!

The CALAVERAS DE COLORES sugar skull earrings are so colorful, you just have to smile! Perfect jewelry for Day of the Dead or Halloween, the one of a kind earrings feature individually artisan handmade enamel sugar skull charms and red coral rondelles. The unique cut out Dia de los Muertos skull dangles started out as copper blanks. Shiny white enamel glass powder was fused onto the front. A stencil and more enamel glass powder was used to form the design, using a high temperature butane torch. As you can see the colors are brilliant: red, turquoise and a bit of yellow. Two black spirals can be found just above each eye socket. Because the sugar skulls were individually hand enameled, they are very similar but not exactly the same, as the photos will show. The back of the charms are finished in black enamel. Despite the larger size of these earrings, the unique flower earrings are lightweight to wear. Since the sugar skull charms are the main focal of the earrings, simple rich red coral rondelles were used to perfectly complement the vibrancy of the colors of the skulls. Two coral rondelles were stacked above each skull with a patinated copper discs spacer capping the top and bottom.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the CALAVERAS DE COLORES lightweight dangle earrings are perfect jewelry accessories to add to your Halloween and Day of the Dead festivities. And they are GREAT for year round wear! “Calaveras de Colores” is Spanish for “colorful skulls.”

The colorful sugar skull charms were artisan handmade from copper blanks with intricate enameling.
